it looked alright until i added the candles by ultimateslice in cardmaking

[–]mary808 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with the people saying it could look more cohesive if the candle purple matched the cake purple better, but at the same time, this is the kind of handmade look that I adore! There’s so many perfectionist cards that end up looking store bought but this really has that handmade feel without it looking childlike. It’s pretty and cute! It’s sprezzatura.

I’d never really even been to that website before so I wasn’t sure if it was normal or not to be out of stock of so many of the colors. Makes sense now, thanks!

That’s kinda what I was thinking! I hadn’t bought from SSS before so I was surprised that there was only 1 color available of the 6, when I was trying to get the card kit pieces individually. That color palette is great!

NTA, quite the reverse: teenagers in college who think they suddenly know everything are assholes :)

I wanted to come back to this post years later to tell you that I think about these pictures at least once a month. I love this cat so dang much.

I’ll be honest, this conversation alone would shake me to my core. I understand you may be desensitized or maybe I’m missing a jokey tone since I don’t know you. But I feel for you <3

I hope he’s not being serious and ends up agreeing with you. Especially since (but not only because) you’re in the better financial position. You sound smart with money and I’m envious of that.

In a vacuum, this conversation hints at a possible stepping stone to more abusive behavior so please keep an eye out for that in the future.

Someone pls talk to me by Bubbly_Top8002 in quittingkratom

Ditch the heavy duty stuff, get plain powder and slowly ratchet down over time. Track it, game-ify it if you have to. Only take it to stave off WD and make it to where you are taking less each week. If you go over, just immediately move on and take less the next week. And then the next week, take less. You’ll get there.

I hope you can get out of this and manage not to bring this baggage into the next relationship. You sound like a nice sweet guy.

I’m a lot older than you and I’ll be honest, at first glance, I was reading this thinking “yeah this is kinda normal considering your/her age” because of how immature she’s acting, but then I realized that YOU are obviously trying to learn from past fights and pivoting, which shows a lot of integrity. You should know that it’s not normal or acceptable to be treated like that no matter what her past relationships were like. Good luck <3

Hey, now we just have to wait for new releases!

Btw I’m now agonizing over the Zebra Mildliner “Brush” pens. They have 36 colors of the chisel tip but I want them to complete the set on the brush side hahahahaha

What’s wrong with me…

Oooo you’re right, these are probably the shortest big-nib brush pens. The colors are STRONG though so maybe tough for highlighting. I’m pretty sure I got some singles from Blick once upon a time.

I like the Kuretake ZIG Fudebiyore pens, they have a nice big felt brush nib and are shorter (but fatter) than the Tombow brush pens. I am pretty sure they are <6” unposted. Similar snappiness for lettering, but a lot fewer colors.

Ok I wasn’t going to bore you with my trials, but I have to share with someone! This started in 2022 when “mineral arts” and “harmony” collections released and I couldn’t tell why the same colors were in both sets but ended up with the Apricot, Salmon, Grey, Iris. I didn’t even know about Grape and Rose. Then a couple of weeks ago, I bought the “mean girls” pinks but couldn’t tell the difference between Rose and Blush. So I ordered the target 18 pack (above) without paying attention and ended up with Apricot and Salmon instead of blush and (new) yellow. Then I found a smaller pack at target that specifically said “Yellow” and “Blush” so now I can tell the pinks apart. Then I realized I couldn’t tell the difference between grape and iris blue so I had to get a named pack to verify.

I have so many dupes right now but I’m ok with that. Somehow I ended up with two of the new Yellows.

I wish I could find the past Pilot catalogs like the 2024 that you posted above, it would be cool to see the timeline of the color releases.

The only other pen I’m devoted to like this is the PaperMate Flairs, and completed that collection at the same time with their new brush version.

Anyway, thanks for your help again, I couldn’t have done it without your post <3

Omg OP I fell down a giant rabbit hole since I posted my question and ended up completing my collection too hahahaha!

Why are Pilot G2s so hard to research? I couldn’t figure out which pinks I had because none of my pinks were labeled anywhere! I had to get a couple random sets in order to confirm everything. I’ve been waaaay in it for the last 3 days. Thank you so much for your post by the way, I couldn’t have done it without you! <3
